PAL Wait Time

Does anyone know the extension for the MB CFO? I see some people were mentioning the BC extension a few pages back.

Currently waiting on a renewal from February 13... with my page still saying "pending"

Wow man! That's cool. Congratulations!
I'm from BC as well. Mine was approved on Oct 11, 2022 & I just can't wait. Btw which gun you're going for?

Nice, congratulations. If you haven't already, you can phone in and get your PAL number and use that to order online from some stores like Marstar. There are still a few handguns out there for grabs.

For all those who have been recently processed...congratulations, all...

Curious...do they update the status of your application when the receive it? Or is the charging of the credit card the indication they are working on it.

For my Restricted application (I already have a PAL), I have a Fedex overnight confirmation that it was delivered on Sept 21. I have been checking daily on IWS and there is no status change (last status change was when they last issued my renewal for my PAL in 2018). Does anyone know whether there is any hint that they actually receive recent applications, aside from tracking numbers, etc. that it was delivered? It would be helpful if they just update the application to say it was received, not necessarily that it's being processed. That way you know it didn't fall behind someone's desk or something... I know it was delivered at Mirimichi, but curious as to what the next status change is in IWS...or is there one?

You will see no updates until the CC charge as that’s when they actually open your envelope. Minimum 28 days but lately 3 months for CC charge and update is normal. That was my timeline

We have completed the initial review of your firearms licence application. If additional information is required, you will be contacted. Please check the status again at a later date.

If you're in Ontario don't waste your time...they just told me "the average wait is 9 months, you're well under that....call back when it's been 9 months".

Meanwhile guys who had their CC charged yesterday already got their card in hand, it's an F'n joke...

what phone number you called in Ontario?
 
15 weeks from the day I sent the application (June 2022) until it arrived. Now here’s where it gets strange… a week or so later, another licence arrived. Identical in every way except for 0002 at the end of my number as opposed to 0001 on the first one I received. Any idea why I got 2?

did you buy a restricted firearm? cause i believe they send you a new one that says "pal/rpal with att" after you buy your first restricted.
